Question:
I heard that the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams card, #68, is one of the rarities of the post-war era. Why is this card considered so rare?
Answer:
That particular card was pulled from production due to a contract dispute, not with Williams, but with Bucky Harris, a Hall of Famer who is also pictured on the card. Williams is pictured signing a contract, hence the title "Ted Signs For 1959." While the rarity has been put somewhat in perspective during the last few years, the card remains a classic in a set entirely devoted to the greatest hitter of all time.
